Not sure on the 300 side. There was an unknown client asking if we could operate up to 5 757 but due to current staffing I’ve no clue. And they’ve even discussed larger equipment in the future. We all know believe it when you see it, when you’re in a class when it comes to that stuff. But candidly given our staffing needs even if we don’t take on all of it we will be hiring and upgrading guys. But I’m just a line pilot. All of those decisions however are far above my pay grade.

We, like anyone else, have been flooded by resumes. And unfortunately for some reason all of our classes had been filled with expats and major airline furloughs. It has not worked out that well as some went back due to their airlines, others quit and some just do nothing but whine about everything. The latter are the ones who need to shut up and just be grateful for the job. But that’s my personal opinion.

The two recent classes they hired had a more blended structure of pilots. So it’s honestly been all over the place. Our HR are notoriously slow and at times have been hard to get ahold of. They may have forgotten. We don’t have pilot recruiting like some airlines. It’s our DO, CP and director of training along with a few others. Basically folks wearing multiple hats sometimes. As such if you have a pint of contact here you’ve got to follow up routinely it seems. And that’s including those with internal recs. Good luck. We will be adding more 200s in January and expanding. So we need good folks here.

I have to say that last part because as of late some cannot figure out cooperate and graduate. We really don’t care how Brand X did it. Anyways it’s not bad. Most who have struggled here have done it to themselves lately and in the cases I’m aware of attitude was poor or conceited. Just being honest.

While it its admirable that the beach boy up stairs has taken the necessary steps in an attempt to cleanup the company. As a pilot there you know well that "the lady in the office" downstairs has weaved her web close and put her partisans in place and they continue to give the substandard training that has been a product of the "36St. model". To the best of my information. In Amerijet's training culture "All new hires are equal. But some new hires become more equal than others"s.
Dont blame folks for leaving because they recognize that they could put their ticket & career in jeopardy by continuing their employment at Amerijet. After all. They have a right to "protect their tickets" and their careers.
